Reflection

“We have places of fear inside of us, but we have other places as well—places with names like trust, and hope, and faith. We can choose to lead from one of those places, to stand on ground that is not riddled with the fault lines of fear . . . now we stand on ground that will support us, ground from which we can lead others toward a more trustworthy, more hopeful, more faithful way of being in the world.” —Parker Palmer  

Prayer

Solid ground,

Fill us today with your perfect love, which drives away fear and keeps us anchored in the things that matter. Help us as leaders to stand on the values that invite others into healthy ways of being in the world. May we lead our neighbors and communities to wholeness, by transforming the places we share together into spaces defined by trust, hope, and faith. Amen.

Call to Action

Meditate today on my foundations as a leader. Make a commitment to lead from places of trust, hope, and faith.
